Ball applauds Cuomo for his State of the State

Reactions to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s State of the State address yesterday were many. See here.

Here’s one more from state Sen. Greg Ball, R-Patterson.

“The contrast between Albany and Washington, D.C. has been striking and it all comes down to bipartisan, effective leadership focused on jobs, rightsizing government, cutting spending and lowering taxes.
